You guys are funny. The ticket prices are what they are because that is what the market can bear. The show will sell out. We havent even done one advertisement yet except for an e-mail blast with the Zappa/Pumpkin photo and already 40% of the way there. Could we charge less? I guess we could, but some of you are not taking into account just how expensive the venue is to rent and the costs associated.

But besides all that, the payday in NY affords Dweezil the ability to play places like Fargo and Omaha and Billings and Pensacola and JACKSON FREAKIN' MISSISSIPPI. Believe me, if it was JUST about money to him, he'd just play the Tri State, the Northeast, and occasionally go up and down the West Coast and NET more money. But, the guy will play anywhere and wants to play anywhere. He's brought ZPZ to towns that Frank never went to and he is proud of that.

It's what true fans must do, undergo the personal hardship plus make the financial sacrifice for their.. I mean someone else's art.

Brainwashed by the music I had to fly to another country to see/hear the Dweez....Well worth the hardship and sacrifice (according to my credit card company)...Another #@%&#% country, what was I thinking.

Bottom line. Would I pay $130 to see Frank ? Maybe once. Would I pay $130 for a cover band playing Franks Music? Not a chance. Good luck selling the remaining 60 % of the tickets. It doesn't help when you use Ticketbastard. The fees are outrageous.

even more lame than inflated ticket prices: the artists who reserve a pool of available top shelf seats from their own tours and feed them directly to the re-seller/scalper, such as van halen, stones, 9" nails, neil diamond, keith urban, kate perry, beeber, probably a few more

didn't bob dylan do a recent tour where all the tix were sold only on the night of the show, cash only ¿

would frank charge $130 for a show ¿ hard to speculate, he played multiple nights or early/late ... was that to keep the prices down

Different month. Same undeserved and smug sense of superiority from Disco Douche. Nice to see that some things never change.

Different month. Same incredibly ignorant sense of judgement from blowjobbob23 regarding the quality of my posts. Nice to see that some things never change.

If FZ were alive and touring today (especially as much as ZPZ have since 2006), his prices would be very similar to what ZPZ's prices are and would easily be able to charge a top tier price like the above but only in his largest markets (NYC/NJ, Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo, London, etc.)...

Frank was an original. dweezil covers an original. I'm not paying close to $150 to see Any cover band. I saw Frank 13 times,I might have paid a little more than $150 total for those shows. 1980-88. Greedy Bastards. That's mostly what it is. Greedy cocksuckers.

You'll never accept and therefore never understand, thats ok, we are also ok in our belief that its a good thing and will never understand your stance that it is such a terrible thing. Thats ok, we can all live with these differences...
